BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: We have just launched our new website: PastGems.com! We are very excited to offer beautiful vintage costume jewelry for your pleasure. Please visit us for some eye candy. See link below. Thanks again for stopping by. P.S. We also have a new eBay ID, PastGems07 that will sell only vintage jewelry. All jewelry listings currently on Karen's Consignments will be moved to PastGems07. Thanks for visiting my auctions and taking the time to visit my About Me page! 25 or 30 years ago a friend taught me to crochet and even longer ago than that I used to knit! With a family and work and all those other things I set that hobby aside in the middle of making an afghan! I moved that afghan and yarn needed to finish it at least half a dozen times! A couple of years ago, another friend was making those wonderful scarves that everyone is wearing. So I broke out the needles, bought some yarn and started knitting again -- WITH A PASSION!! But what really got me excited was the YARN that's available now. It's nothing like it was 30 years ago, believe me! Since I am really into making a smaller footprint on the planet and also believe in supporting women, especially in less developed countries, I was especially excited by the discovery of recycled yarns and fair trade items (handspun yarn or handknit items) made by women's cooperatives. , Unfortunately, buying these earth-friendly yarns is a bit expensive, even at wholesale. And the competition on eBay is fierce, making the profit margins not very, well, profitable. As a result, I became a Trading Assistant and business just started booming -- I could barely keep up. Sadly, the yarn part of the business began to take a backseat. I still love to knit and I still enjoy supporting women's cooperatives, but I don't think it is the business for me right now.

Meanwhile, and here's the really big news of the moment: Lately I have become interested and have been learning about vintage costume jewelry. An opportunity came my way to purchase an existing website and inventory, as well as a presently inactive eBay ID. My new website is now up and running (SEE URL BELOW!) and is stocked with gorgeous vintage jools!! I can't tell you how excited I am about this new direction. I have spent the last several years attempting to pare down my lifestyle in keeping with my desire to make that footprint smaller, so you will see the results of that effort in my auctions as well. I may still also pick up interesting and very select items from estate sales or other sources and offer them to you at very reasonable prices. I am an eBay Registered Trading Assistant and will continue to be available in that capacity, but I am narrowing my focus to the vintage jewelry, the upscale lingerie from my client with a very nice store here locally; and luxury designer fabrics from my friend the clothing designer. I also will occasionally be offering recycled yarn from thrift store sweaters. I LOVE doing this, but the business keeps me so busy, I rarely have time to knit or unravel anymore! See link below to one of my favorite recycling sites! Another goal of mine is to produce greeting cards from recycled materials, so look for these in the future! (Some-a-day) One final thing I try to do to give back is knit prayer shawls (in my spare time - I always have one underway) and donate them to local women's shelters in the San Francisco Bay Area. Policies: I aim to provide extraordinary customer service. Everything will be packed securely and safely and I make every effort to ship within one business day of receipt of payment. If you are unhappy with something that you have purchased from me, I will gladly accept returns and issue a full refund, except shipping costs. Before returning any items, I do ask that you contact me via email, explain the reason for the return and request a Return Authorization number. Thanks for stopping by and please add me to your Favorite Sellers so you will be notified when I add new items! And pay us a visit at our new website and new eBay store (PastGems07) as well! Happy eBaying!!
